you won't censure him for looking
awtully tickled over it; he deserves

1t was hard to tell which of them
buried his nose the deepest into the
ordorous depths; guess 1t depended
on the length of noses. The selection
from opera Erani," Verdi, is beau
tiful and expressive, requiring careful
rendering and strict Interpretation.
That no particular manifestation was
given, was for no fault in the music
ians. The following programme for

Tuesday and Wednesday were ex-
citing days in the Court room. In the
case Of the State versus Mr.. Riordan
charged with obstructing the track of
the B. & o. r. r., Geo. w. Feidt,
Prosecuting Attorney for State, Hon.
E. Boyd Faulkner for the Railroad
Company, Senator G. J. Faulkner and
Stuart Walker for the defence. Points
of law were strongly contested
throughout the examination of wit
ness, and the case was conducted with
such ability and finesse on both sides
as to attract and interest the public to
an unusual degree. Geo. W. Feidt,
ESQ.,, opened the argument before the
Jury on behalf of the State, and in a
forcible, strong, clear arraignment of
the defendant. He was followed by
Mr.. Walker who reviewed the testi-
mony in general, and Feidt in partic-
ular, and made a very logical argu-
ment, and fair showing for his side OF
the case. Mr.. Walker is pleasant
speaker and knows how to present a
case to advantage. Sen. Faulkner then
addressed the Jury at length Of time
in a clear, concise, mastery review of
the entire evidence and facts connect
ed with the case, and gave them in
such eloquent language and with such
effect that the enthusiasm of the audi
ence boiled over pretty often. 1t is
the first time for seven years that the
has practiced before the bar
here. His return to it is pleasure to
those who listened to him. Heis not
so much out of practice as his seven
years " out" would imply. Hon E..
Boyd Faulkner had the closing argu-
ment. and used that privilege in a
manner. With acute
swift conception, and a
comprehensive grasp fall the circum-
stances and their bearing upon the
questions at issue he presented sum-
mary of the case that was vivid, and
clear; yet was severe only in return
ing I" Measure for measure" and that
in his own courteous manner. Judge
Beckwith's rulings were given with
consideration and gave general
The Jury after being
out about fifteen minutes, returned a
verdict of " Not guilty." and the la
dies gave such loud vent to their sat-
isfaction that Mr.. Dumford wanted to
know if he couldn't take some of
them to Jail. He and Sheriff Lamon
finally compromised the matter in
some way. / didn't make any noise
myself, but / hear somebody's black

Mrs, Cleyeland's cut" of Governor
and Mrs. Foraker at the public recep-
ton given in Philadelphia was the
worst "break" the spiteful President
ess has made yet. NarO,o hardly
expresses an action so not only barren
of tact and diplomacy, but ofthe most
uncalled for discourtesy, and breach
of etiquette so gross that its indul-
gence inveritably stamps any woman
as being ignorant, or else lacking the
culture and heart of lady. The Gov
ernor and his wife suffer nothing by
contrast. LEONE.
